The word Hero when applied to anyone that wheres a uniform of any type. It belittles the term to use it so freely, it may not obfuscate the meaning of the word, but the repeated use of it to describe someone that is doing their job degrades the importance of the term.

Originally posted by CliffLandinor maybe soldiers perform acts of heroism everyday? Why is it heroic for someone to run into a burning building to save someone, but it is "obfuscating" when a soldier runs out into the line of fire to rescue an injured comrade. maybe this is why their are heros, and their are superheroes?
